Exercise Science

Explore wellness through exercise science. Wellness is no longer a health trend or fad — it has become a lifestyle. In order to teach people how to manage stress, maintain a healthy diet, stay physically fit and cope with general health problems, professional wellness programs must be instituted. Exercise science prepares professionals to promote and manage positive, healthy lifestyles.
